[My Word for 2013...]

Life is either a great adventure or nothing...

.....Helen Keller

Every production of an Artist

should be the expression...

 of an adventure of his soul...

.....William Somerset Maugham

I was a tad excited when I unwrapped this mixed media journal 

on Christmas Day...

(I may have dropped a few hints...lol)

I had heard good things about this journal...

and I wasn't disappointed...

not only do the pages lie flat...

but they are smooth and cope well with a lot of layers...

So...

I began my first page with my word for 2013...

'Adventure'...

when I sat down and thought about which word I would choose...

 Adventure just kept jumping out at me...

I love that choosing a special word for the year...

 inspires me...

gives me focus... 

and provides a foundation to both ground me in the New Year... 

and a base to spring from...

Adventure feels authentic and soulful...

So...

I'm ready for new discoveries in 2013...

of making the most of new opportunities...

of moving out of my comfort zone...

in fact... I'm ready for it all... 

the excitement... the learning, the mistakes... the joy...

of finding adventure in every aspect of my life...

both in a physical and spiritual sense...

this year...

my heart is taking me on an adventure...

I'm diving in...

and I'm ready for the ride of my life...

 

We live in a wonderful world

full of beauty, charm and adventure...

there is no end to the adventures that we can have

if only we seek them with our eyes open...

.....Jawaharlal Nehru
